The Avocado Green Mattress was my instauration to integrated mattresses and, aft having tested astir a twelve others, it's inactive my idiosyncratic favorite.
Avocado's organic, nontoxic mattresses are made successful the USA from GOLS-certified integrated latex, GOTS-certified integrated wool, and GOTS-certified integrated cotton. While the sustainable, integrated materials and eco-friendly operation were decidedly portion of the archetypal appeal, what truly stands retired astir Avocado successful each my investigating is the comfort.
Construction and Materials
Avocado makes a fewer antithetic mattresses: the archetypal Avocado Green Mattress, which is what I've tested, on with a Luxury mentation (which adds Hemp and is wide a plusher, softer mattress) and a lower-priced Eco version. Avocado besides offers a vegan mattress that is the aforesaid arsenic the original, but does not usage wool.
One of the standout features of the Avocado Green Mattress is the company's usage of high-quality integrated and sustainable materials (see Avocado’s assorted eco certifications here). The mattress uses 100 percent GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified latex, which is sourced from integrated rubber trees. The processing of rubber into latex is not the blessed integrated process immoderate would similar to claim, but astatine slightest successful moving with GOLS, Avocado is gathering the permissible limits for harmful substances and has to trial emissions, arsenic good arsenic conscionable polymer and filler standards. It is, successful short, arsenic harmless and nontoxic arsenic latex tin be.

The latex is truly the halfway of what provides the comfortableness successful this mattress, helping it to signifier to the contours of your assemblage but without the suffocating feeling of sinking into a toxic quicksand, which is what I deliberation of each clip I slumber connected representation foam. Organic, earthy latex has the enactment and softness of foam, but without the chemicals. Avocado uses integrated Dunlop latex successful the steadfast mattress (which is much than 95 percent certified integrated material), portion the Plush exemplary uses the softer Talalay latex.
Organic latex is besides hypoallergenic, making it a large enactment for anyone with allergies triggered by indoor pollutants similar mold and mildew, oregon particulate mites, each of which integrated latex is little prone to than chemic foams.
Another mode Avocado avoids the chemicals is by utilizing integrated wool, which acts arsenic a earthy occurrence retardant, meaning the mattress doesn't request harmful chemicals oregon synthetic occurrence barriers. Wool is an astonishing fiber, and present it besides helps your assemblage people modulate its temperature, keeping you lukewarm successful wintertime and chill successful summer. More connected that successful a bit.
